Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nishkar Grover (ngrover) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: pydoc info for a package doesn't list all package contents Initial Comment: When using pydoc to query a package, a "PACKAGE CONTENTS" list is provided to show the modules and packages that are in that package. That list will be incomplete if we are querying a package that has been split across multiple directories. Suppose you have the following: /first/path/foo/__init__.py /first/path/foo/one.py /second/path/foo/__init__.py /second/path/foo/two.py and sys.path includes /first/path/ and /second/path/. If both of the foo/__init__.py files are empty, then "import foo" will only allow you to import modules from one of those two foo/ directories (whichever is found first in sys.path). However, if we add the following to both foo/__init__.py files, then we can import foo.one and foo.two because "foo" is considered to be a single package split across two directories: from pkgutil import extend_path __path__ = extend_path(__path__, __name__) Please see http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/lib/module-pkgutil.html for some related information. On line 1052 of pydoc.py, we have the following: for file in os.listdir(object.__path__[0]): and in that loop we only read the contents of the FIRST directory in the package's __path__. That should be updated to read the contents of ALL directories in the package's __path__. The following change will do that: % diff -w pydoc.py pydoc.py.orig 1052,1054c1052,1053 < for objectDir in object.__path__: < for file in os.listdir(objectDir): < path = os.path.join(objectDir, file) --- > for file in os.listdir(object.__path__[0]): > path = os.path.join(object.__path__[0], file) I've attached that updated pydoc.py file to this submission. Please consider that as a replacement for the existing pydoc.py module that's currently being distributed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1613479&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
